Default Hilarious card description

Since Brian VH does about three of these per day, thought you guys would get a kick out of Ryan's description of this GAI graded Ray Beown card. I was an underbidder, but I literally spit out some of my lunch when I read it...

Not only is it funny, it is very honest. I have never seen an auction where they state the card will actually end up with a grade 1.5 lower than it resides... even when it is in a GAI case.

I always laugh when I see a GAI holder with "1st graded" on it.

That is funny. I've never seen an auction house write up a description like that before. Is this the norm for this AH?

Ryan is brutally honest...so I'd say yes this is the norm.

I hope it's his card to sell or else I'd be a little ticked off consigning a card that the AH bashes. It is a funny write up though

It's a truthful write up....and I am sure Ryan didn't upset a consignor doing so...as he would have told them up front or maybe it was an AH item. Ryan (hi Ryan) is brutally honest. And he also took quite a bit of time with me yesterday discussing an old Cuban card. I appreciated that very much.
